Waste paper is a vital ingredient for a healthy compost heap. If you don’t have space or time to compost, you can still recycle paper as mulch. Simply tear it into small strips and place them around your plants. Recycling paper in this way will help keep the soil in your garden moist and add nutrients to it too.
You can recycle newspapers for gift-wrapping and packing things. You could use them to line boxes when packing items to move house, putting items into storage, or sending gifts to friends. Wrap delicate items in newspaper and scrunch up used paper to fill gaps in the box and protect your valuables.
You could bind old papers and use them as a doodling pad. You can also try your hand at origami with old paper or make a collage on a poster board for your wall.
You can use an old newspaper to clean glass. Simply take a few drops of white vinegar on paper and start cleaning the glass.
Recycle old paper into a brand-new sheet by making paper pulp in a blender. Press the pulp into a mold and add weight to squeeze out water. Once your new sheet is dry, you can use it for various purposes.
